After signinc aeontract accepting the terms ottered, he in placed anions the accepted recruits, and another candidate is interrogated. Fully fifty recruits were engaged. They trere taken in a ronnd-abont way to the rear rf the Grand Central Depot. The destination of this company was West Albany. They were a tough-looking lot of men that would make a bad light if the got into a conilict. llefnre starting them from No. CI liroadway Pinkerton made an address, in which ho aid that they would receive their equipments when they arrived at their destination. "Now, you are not sent out to kill people," he said, "but if your lives are in danger you know what to do. You must not go out expecting a picnic, because there will be hard work and long hours. You'll hardly be able to get boarding-houses, but we'll feed yon and take caro of you. Obey the orders of your captain and you'll get your pay." One of the men engaged yesterday was formerly "bouncer" in a faro bank, and the wboli crowd looked as though they would cot hesitate at any undertaking. STRIKERS ISSUE BULLETINS.

They Are Not Satisfied with Newspaper Heports, and Send Their Own Version. Albany, N. Y Aug. 15. The strikers say they are dissatisfied with the way the newspapers of the country have been treating the status of the Central strike, and today the following bulletin, addressed "to all comrades, greeting." is in front of the headquarters of D. A. 216: Owing to the fact the press of the country to a large extent are misrepresenting our cause the executive board of D. A. 240 have resolved to issue seml-dally bulletins of the exact condition of affairs as they exist at the time of such Jssae, the same to be forwarded to our district assemblies along tho road by the first mail. The condition at present Is a great improvement upon the strike, as it stood at 7 o'clock iv m. of Aug. 8. The best of feeling prevails all along thsrlliie. all onr members being hopeful, and remaining stanch and true to the cause. Reports which are constantly being received hero that the company are moving freight. a9 well as passengers, are entirely untrue, and none la being moved to any extent. They still refuse to re ceive all shipments of freight offered them, which entirely disproves Mr. ebb's assertions. The effort of the company to incite our people to riot and violence; by employing Pinkerton's men, with clubs and Winchesters, has so far been an utter failure. Caution all of our brothers to remain firm and vigilant, and all will soon end in our favor. - Tho strikers devour the contents of each new bulletin with marked eagerness. Two additional bulletins posted late to-day by the strikers read: The situation is still improving. Report from all points Indicate tbat the greatest enthusiasm prevails. Large meetings are being held at all points, rublic opinion la increasing in our favor, und offers of financial assistance arc pouring In from all sides, which tends to make tho situation extremely encouraging. Advice jiiat received from West Albany state that C. M. IJisnell, superintendent; F. M. Harrington, assistant superintendent; Wm. Buchanan, superintendent of motive power, and J. It. Leonard, confidential clerk to C M. Rissell, are engaged In throwing switches and attempting to make up trains. They are, a niuft be exjected, doing very poor work. .So much for the expert switchmen hired at Chicago to handle the West Albany yard. Reports received from other points show a similar condition of affairs, they demon strating beyond tho shadow or a doubt that the retffht blockade 1 a far as ever Jrom being raised, as Mr. Webb would have tho public believe. From present indications It I certain thut the force employed is utterly incompetent to put tilings in uny way near the old shape. The old employes can, and do feel certain, that the present force cannot do the work. The saltries of the above forte run from 100 to $J."0 ser month, aj against $3:1.50 paid the regular vwucnmeii. The bulletins indicate that tho reports by tho company that freight was being moved lroni terminal points was not true: that reDorts from New Ynrk say that everything is in splendid condition, the strikers holding firm, their ranks being hourly aug mented. The report that freight is being moved , to and from West Albany is erro neous. The cost of maintaining tho Pinkerton force in Albany and vicinity will bo about $10,000 per day. During the evening a number of tho Pinkerton men stationed on the track in tho northern section of this city were stoned by persons hidden in or about nouses in that neighborhood. Five rcccivr d injuries and were taken to tho Pinkerton car in tho linion Station. where their wounds were dressed by phy sicians, l wo received severe scalp wounds. A fragment of brick was taken from tho wound of one. It is not known whether tho persons who throw the missiles were strikers. Superintendent Uissell.said to-night that the company had succeeded in sending eight freight trains west and five south from nest Albany and this vicinity. Ho thought the outlook good. Mr. Depew Says the Strike Is Ended. IIOMDUKG, Ang. 15. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, president of tho New York Central & Hudson Kiver railroad, in an interview hero to-day, was asked his opinion of the situation of ntlairs in regard to the strike on that road. Mr. Depew, in reply, said that he did not think it was necessary to express an opinion, in view of the fact that the strike was ended. OTHER LABOR TROUBLES. WabasTi Switchmen Quit Work at Chicago Because Their Waces Were Not Paid. Chicago, Ang. 15. All of tho switchmen employed by the Wabash railroad in Chi cago struck this afternoon, and not a wheel is turning. About 200 men left their posts, completely stopping all traffic.

L. Loury. treasurer of the Wabash, was seen at his residence to-night aud stated that the pay car would arrive in Chicago in the morning, at which time the striking switchmen would bo paid. The pay-roll was a day late in being completed, and consequently the car was delayed that long in starting. Jdle Morocco-Dressers. LYNN, Mass., Aug. 15. At present there aro fully COO morocco-dressers in Lynn TPithout employment, and by the end of the week thU number will have reached 3,500. As soon as the manufacturers loarned of the strike at Moulton'a factory they proceeded to discharge their finishers, and today many others have been obliged to leave. The strike, while nominally in the Moulton factory, is practically general. This shop has been turning out 15o dozen skins per dav, employing 3X) hands. For this reason the strike was ordered there, as it is supposed Moulton could not stand the strike. A prominent manufacturer said to-day that the pay-rool of the idle men would reach $d,ouO per week. The manufacturers will yield to no demands. The Present Schedule Unsatisfactory, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danville, 111.. Aug. 15.

Portland, Ind., Aug. 15. Last Tuesday the teamsters working for N. McCoy, on the Camden pike, struck for higher wages, Mr. McCoy refused their demann. The f ambers along the road are in sympathy with the striken, and refuse water or board for teamsters that. oiler to take the places of the men.

UE1I1UNG SEA NEGOTIATIONS. Salisbury Anxious to Establish a Close Time for Seals Compensation for Seizures. London, Aug. 15. In the House of Com mons to-night, Mr. Alexander Staveley Hill questioned the government regarding tho position of the liehring sea negotiations. He said that a careful inquiry on the spot had satisfied him that the methods by which British vessels conducted their fish ing led to no undue waste of seal life. It was not the case that female seals were recklessly slain. Sir James Fergusson, speaking for the government, said that no adequate judg ment could be formed on the negotiations or on the diplomatic correspondence on the subject until the House possessed Lord Sal isbury's final reply, which could not be put upon the table until it had been presented to tho United States Secretary of State. Cable dispatches, just received, intimated that this had been done. hen the whole correspondence was published ho believed the llouse would be satisiied with the spirit and manner in which the negotiations had been conducted bvthe Itritish trovernmeut. The aim of Lord Salisbury's action had ueen to estauiisn a ciose time tor scais uy an international arrangement, and at the same time time to prevent the further seiz ing of British vessels and secure compensa tion for the seizures already made. lhe Under roreign Secretary's statement was received with marks of approval by the members. will cause: distress. The Potato Blight In Ireland the Subject of Much Concern. London, Ang. 15. The Catholic primate. preaching recently at Armagh, declared that great distress threatened tho poor in Ireland, owing to the failure of the potato crop throughout the country. In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Balfour, Chief Sec retary for Ireland, said that while it was true that there had been a serious failure of the potato crop, vet there was no reason to tear a famine, as the resources of the poor-law unions would be sufficient to meet all casos of distress tbat might ariso from the failure of the crop. Prices have already doubled at Y estport. where tho guardians and the government are making exertions to avert a disaster. The blight has spread over the whole of Ualway. It is not confined to any particular soil. The blight is due partly to the sowing of old seed in old ground, but mostly to the rainy season. In the worst districts the stalks are withered. In five out of six examinations made there were no roots, and in the sixth case the tubers wero only of the size of marbles. Michael Davitt writes to suggest that something be done to replace potatoes with such vegetables as will make food between now and March, and he asks suggestions without delay from thoso who are quulined to give auvice. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The Recent Massacre of Spanish Soldiers by Natives of the Island of Yap. London, Aug. 15. Spanish army officers, among the most imompetont of European military men, and at the same time the least tolerant of unfavorable criticism, are greatly exercised over the strictures of tho Liberal press and leaders of the country upon the massacre of a Spanish lieutenant aud twenty-seven soldiets in tho Island of Yap. "the story of which reached Madrid on Wednesday, lhese critics sharply de nounce tho ovenonfideuce, based upon possession of superior weapons and the as sumption of a higher strategic intelligence. which has of late years too often resulted in subjecting highly trained European sob diers to humiliating and unnecessary de feats at the hands of ill-armed, but wily savages. It is, to the opposition, incon ceivable, that, in a country known to be inhabited by treacherous and enterprising native tribes, the military authorities should, for any purpose, have sent an un armed party into the dense and anibushprovoking growth of a tropical forest. The Argentine Hank Scandal. London, Aug. 16. The Buenos Ayre9 correspondent of the Times stages that orders havo been sent to imprison tho directors of the Cordova National Bank should they persist in defying the law.

The Lancet Vie w on the Kemmler Execution London, Aug. 15. Tho Lancet, the leading medical organ, discussing tho Kemmler execution, says: "The operators in the Kemmler case used their mimic lightning with all. the clumsiness of mortal inability. They burned the skull and a portion of tho hack, and exploded the sinuses of tho brain. No doubt they were fortunate- enough to render the man senseless at tho hrst blow. just as the' would have done if they had struck him on the head and back with a red-hot hammer, but he was found with no mark ft of the electrical current through the viscera of the body. Tho man was killed by concussion of the brain and explosion within the closed cavity of the skull, just as a man may be killed by apoplexy or sun stroke." Attempt to Destroy the William Tell Legend. Geneva, Aug. 15. By order of tlie can tonal government of Schwyz tho story of William Tell is henceforth to be religious ly excluded from all histories published by authority, and it is officially proclaimed that the Tell stories aro neither more nor less than fanciful, if patriotic, legends of German origin. Tho despair of the Swiss, who keep and exhibit the Tell chapel, poiut out the exact spot where he made his famous shot at the apple, and who own and navigate the steamers that bring credulous travelers to tho shrine, may be imagined.

FIENDISH TRAIN-WI1ECKERS

Locomotive Thrown Into a River, and lvo Engineers and a Tramp Killed. Lives of 200 Excursionists Imperiled Serious Accidenton the Michigan Central Several Tersou3 Killed and Injured. MANY UVES I3IPERILED. Fiendish Attempt to Wreck an Excursion Train Two Engineers and a Tramp Killed. Fxttsbuiig. Aug. 15. A dastardly attempt was made, last night, to wreck an Atlantic City excursion train on the Baltimore fc Ohio railroad at a point twenty miles from this city, where the road runs along tho Youghiogheny river, thirty feet above the water. The attempt was partially successful and resulted in the almost total demolition of the engine and the death of two f ngineers and a tramp. Fortunately the passengers escaped with slight cuts and bruises. Their names were: Yankee Sullivan, of ,Jitt8bnrg, one of the oldest engineers on the road; Daniel Goodwin, engineer of the eastern division, who was riding in the cab; unknown man, supposed to bo a tramp, riding between the tender and baggage car. h ire man King was painfully, but not dangerously injured. The train, which consisted ot six sleepers and a baggage car. was crowded with excursionists, there being over two hundred on board bound for the seashore. It was late in getting away from tho city, and was proceeding at a rapid pace to make up lost time. Near Osceola Station, twenty miles south of this citv. an obstruc tion was encountered. There was a terrific crash and the engine was thrown over the embankment. The cars ran along the rails for a distance of fifty feet, whero they fell over on the west-bound track toward the hillside. The engine was completely wrecked. Sullivan, . Goodwin and the tramp were crushed beneath the timbers and vero killed almost instantly. King, tho fi reman, was thrown into a tree thirty feet nway and escaped with serious bruises. Tae sleepers were not badly damaged, but the passengers were badly frightened. All escaped, however, with a few bruises and slight cuts from broken glass. An in vesication showed that a deliberate and fiendish attempt had been made to wreck the train. Four ties had been placed securely between and on the rails. Fortunately the work of the wreckers was frustrated iy the cars falling on the westbound side. If they had followed the engine and irone over the embankment into the river the loss of life would have been frightful. The motive for the deed cannot be surmised, but thorough investigation will be made by the railroad company and every effort mado to bring the culprits to justice. The most plausible theory advanced is that the wreckers intended to wreck a high-class freight train which usually preceded the Pacific express. Last night, however, the first section of the express was sent out ahead of the freight train. CRASHED INTO A FREIGHT. Serious Accident, but Only One Person Fatally Hurt Engineer with a Charmed Life. Faterson, X. J., Aug. 15. A serious accident occurred on tho Erie road near the bridge over the Passaic river in this city, at C:45 this afternoon, in which the fireman, J. E. Townsend, was probably fatally injured. Train Xo. 2, the Chicago & Grand Trunk express bound east, running at the rato of forty miles an hour, crashed into a freight train which, for some unexplained reason, was standing on the east-bouud track instead of the siding, when the fast passenger train came along. The express came tearing around the curve just north of the bridge at a frightful speed, having the right ot way and believing the track to bo clear. When within a quarter of a milo of the freight engineer Ed Sellerg discovered the freight in front. He reversed his engine and applied the air-brakes, but the grade tends downward and the momentum of his train was so great that he could not stop it. Tne fireman jumped, struck the rock ballast in a heap aud was turned over and over by the force of his fall. He was picked up unconscious and taken to the general hospital as soon as tho ambulance could arrive. Tne engineer bravely stuck to his post and escaped injury, although the large locomotive plowed its way through the caboose and two freight cars before tho train stopped. The freighttrain crew escaped. Six freight cars were piled in a confused heap across the track, and the engines took fire at once. The passengers were hurled in every direction, but all escaped serious injury, lerronzcd. they sprang headforemost tnrough the win dows in their etlorts to escape, and in this way several were hurt. A rush was made forward, and the engineer, whom all expected to find dead, coolly stepped from the ruins of his cab and grooted them. Ho attempted to apologize to the terrified passengers for tho mishap, but was exonerated from all blame, as there was no llagman to warn him of the danger. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Miller, and it was running on the time of the express. WRECK ON THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL. Fireman Killed, Engineer Fatally Ilurt and Other Persons Seriously Injured. Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 15.
